To reiterate:
I have the best family and friends that anyone could ever ask for, ever.
(And yes, I felt this sentiment deserved a post all its own.)

The Fine Print
This blog is an outlet to share the stories of my time spent abroad, and nothing more. The views and experiences recounted here are mine alone, independent of the Peace Corps and the U.S. government.
Since mom and dad probably couldn't figure out how to comment on this, if they can even navigate to this site (without mom getting sidetracked at the bible site, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA) I feel I'll have to speak on behalf of said family mentioned in this sentimental post and say thanks and that we got pretty damn lucky with you, as well! Wasn't that nicer than what mom and dad wrote for a caption of that weird picture of you in a box for that senior picture collage thing?! Hahaha - oh man. Anyway - we wish you the best of luck. Insha'allah Al-Maghreb and the Peace Corps is everything you expected and desired.
